Japan Faces Butter Meltdown
Japanese fans of cake, buttered toast and Hollandaise sauce may need to start hoarding soon.
The island nation is facing another likely shortage of butter this fiscal year, according to a report by the Japan Dairy Association.
It’s the second year of butter shortages that last year left supermarket shelves dry , amid tight import controls and falling domestic production of raw milk. Shortages are usually most acute near the Christmas season when consumers buy cakes.
The JDA estimates a 7,100 ton shortage of butter in the year that started in April. The organization estimates domestic demand will rise 0.9% on year to 74,700 tons.
Also fueling the shortages is a long-term fall in raw milk…

Use the process of comparative statics to analyse the following changes in market conditions for the pizza market in a capital city (Hint: You are analysing general market condition assuming a competitive market). a) There is a general decrease in consumer income. [assume pizza is a normal good] b) There is a fall in the price pastry ingredients used to make pizza by 25%. 2. You are in the food truck industry in a capital city. You discover a new way to organise the preparation of ingredients that decreases the cost and increases the number of serves per day. You believe this will enable the business to reduce the price of a serve of curry from $20 to $15. It is estimated that the price elasticity of demand for food truck cuisine is 1.9. What will happen to total revenue if the price of a curry per serve is decreased? Should you decrease the price of the curry?arrow_forward
- How can we apply the supply and demand analysis to a competitive market? What is a real-life example of an increase in the number of consumers in the market or an increase in the number of sellers/buyers in the market (competitive market)?arrow_forward11 11. Consider the following economy: There are three goods, legume, tillip and quillip, two consumers (called 1 and 2), and two firms (called x and y). Firm x is owned entirely by consumer 1 and makes tillip out of legume according to the simple linear production technology t :::; 3l . That is, for every unit of legume input, this firm produces three times as many (or less) units of tillip. Firm y is owned entirely by consumer 2 and makes quillip out of legume according to the production technology q = 4l. Each consumer initially owns 5 units of legume. Consumer 1 has utility function u1(t, q) = 6 + .4ln(t) + .6ln(q). Consumer 2 has utility function ui(t, q) = 8 +ln(t) + ln(q). (a) What is the general equilibrium of this economy?

Suppose an increase in foreign income causes an increase in the world demand for oil, whereas the supply does not change. The following graph shows the market for oil in Russia. Adjust the following graph to show the effect of a higher demand for oil on the economy of Russia. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.arrow_forward
- true or false - explain in short be supported with an economic model. If the demand for and supply of a product both increases, the equilibrium quantity of the product must also increase. If the demand for a product decreases and the supply of the product increases, the equilibrium price of the product may increase or decrease, depending on whether supply or demand has shifted more. Assume that there is a fixed supply in the market. A higher price will result from a change in demand brought about by a rise in income.arrow_forwardUsing the table, for each line item and its associated column, describe how the market for each specific product will be affected by the associated event indicating whether it will rise, fall, or no change. For example, in the first line item for the market of corn, based upon the event of a severe drought, the price will either rise or fall or no change, demand curve will shift left (fall) or right (rise) or no change, supply curve will shift left (fall) or shift right (rise) or no change, quantity demanded will rise, fall, or no change, and quantity supplied will either rise, fall, or no change.

The article goes on to say that another large semiconductor manufacturer was likely to follow suit. Collectively, these chip manufacturers produce about 30 percent of the world’s basic semiconductor chips. Based on this information, how is the market for computers altered?
